I meant only in the first round but I see I phrased it very poorly indeed. Oh well, points for people who guessed what I really meant! It only applies to the first round.

Here was the answer key. Amusingly enough, Milwaukee only had the 3rd best DRTG despite the sweep. However, the top 2 were not choices. No underdogs advanced.
